Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a C-glucosidic ellagitannin compound, or a 5 metabolite, for use for altering the supramolecular arrangement of actin in an individual in need thereof. It also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a C-glucosidic ellagitannin compound and/or metabolites thereof and one or more physiologically acceptable carriers. It finally concerns a C-glucosidic ellagitannin compound or a metabolite thereof, optionally detectably labeled, for in vitro use as a tool for studying 10 cellular mechanisms involving actin, or for detecting F-actin in a cell.
  • Cancer is an unregulated proliferation of cells due to loss of normal controls, resulting in unregulated growth, lack of differentiation, local tissue invasion, and often, metastasis. Cancer can develop in any tissue or organ at any age. Many cancers are curable if detected at an early stage, and long-term remission is often possible in later stages. However, cure is not always possible and is not attempted in some advanced 0 cases. The development of drugs effective against cancer and having limited toxic side effects thus remains a critical need.
  • tumor angiogenesis factors are produced to promote formation of the vascular supply required for further tumor growth.
  • a tumor may shed cells into the circulation. Although most circulating tumor cells die as a result of intravascular trauma, an occasional cell may adhere to the vascular endothelium and penetrate into surrounding tissues, generating independent tumors (metastases) at distant sites. Metastatic tumors grow in much the same manner as primary tumors and may subsequently give rise to other metastases.
  • adhesion to the extracellular matrix and to neighbouring cells 5 plays a central role in the control of cell survival, growth, differentiation, motility, and tissue integrity.
  • Oncogenic transformation profound changes occur in the organization of the actin cytoskeleton, manifesting on cell morphology and motility.
  • Increased proliferation a hallmark of cancer cells, is highly dependent upon actin dynamics and cell adhesion.
  • Adhesive interactions involve specialized transmembrane receptors that are linked to the cytoskeleton through junctional plaque proteins.
  • actin-binding proteins including a-actinin, vinculin, tropomyosin and profilin.
  • Osteoporosis is a progressive metabolic bone disease that decreases bone density with deterioration of bone structure. Skeletal weakness leads to fractures with minor or inapparent trauma, particularly in the thoracic and lumbar spine, wrist, and hip. Acute or chronic back pain is common. Prevention and treatment involve calcium and vitamin D supplements, exercises to maximize bone and muscle strength and minimize the risk of falls, and drug therapy to preserve bone mass or stimulate new bone formation.
  • Osteoblasts cells that make the organic matrix of bone and then mineralize bone
  • osteoclasts cells that resorb bone
  • PTH parathyroid hormone
  • calcitonin calcitonin
  • estrogen calcitonin
  • vitamin D calcitonin
  • cytokines cytokines
  • Bone mass in men and women occurs by the mid 20s. Bone mass plateaus for about 10 yr, during which time bone formation approximately equals bone resorption. After this, bone loss occurs at a rate of about 0.3 to 0.5% per year. Beginning with menopause, bone loss accelerates in women to about 3 to 5% per year for about 5 to 7 year.
  • the major mechanism is increased bone resorption, which results in decreased bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration, even though other mechanisms also contribute to osteoporosis.
  • the mechanisms of bone loss may involve local changes in the production of bone-resorbing cytokines (such as increases in cytokines that stimulate bone resorption), impaired formation response during bone remodeling (probably caused by age-related decline in the number and activity of osteoblasts), and other factors such as a decline in local and systemic growth factors.
  • the goals of treatment against osteoporosis are to preserve bone mass, prevent fractures, decrease pain, and maintain function.
  • the rate of bone loss can be slowed with drugs (e.g. bisphosphonates or other anti-resorptive drugs) and, when possible, modification of risk factors.
  • drugs e.g. bisphosphonates or other anti-resorptive drugs
  • Calcium and vitamin D intake and physical activity must be adequate for drug treatment to be effective.
  • Bisphosphonates are first-line drug therapy. By inhibiting bone resorption, bisphosphonates preserve bone mass and can decrease vertebral and hip fractures by 50%. All increase bone mineral density and decrease risk of at least vertebral fractures.
  • Risk factors also include bisphosphonate use and cancer.
  • Bisphosphonates may further be associated with atrial fibrillation, but the mechanism is not clear and there has been no association with increased cardiovascular mortality.
  • Estrogen can preserve bone density and prevent fractures. Most effective if started within 4 to 6 yr of menopause, estrogen may slow bone loss and possibly reduce fractures even when started much later. However, use of estrogen increases the risk of thromboembolism and endometrial cancer and may increase the risk of breast cancer.
  • the risk of endometrial cancer can be reduced in women with an intact uterus by taking a progestin with estrogen.
  • taking a combination of a progestin and estrogen increases the risk of breast cancer, coronary artery disease, stroke, and biliary disease.
  • PTH which stimulates new bone formation
  • the osteoclast is the specialized cell that is responsible for bone resorption. It is a highly polarized cell that must adhere to the bone surface, where it undergoes alternative cycles of migration and resorption. Actin reorganization is critical for both processes. Osteoclast motility is mediated by podosomes, which are highly dynamic F-actin structures. Resorbing osteoclasts form a related actin complex, the sealing zone, which provides the boundary for the resorptive microenvironment. Similar to podosomes, the sealing zone is highly dependent on actin dynamics to allow efficient resorption. The integrity of the supramolecular arrangement of actin also plays a major role in the formation of the osteoclastic actin ring, a prerequisite for bone resorption.
  • the ellagitannins are a class of hydrolysable tannins formed when gallic acid, a phenol monomer, esterifies with the hydroxyl groups of a polyol carbohydrate such as glucose and oxidatively couples into hexahydroxydiphenoyl (HHDP) units, from which ellagic acid can be hydrolytically released.

  • Several of these C-glucosidic ellagitannins further display a nonahydroxyterphenoyl (NHTP) unit triply connected at positions 2, 3 and 5 of their glucose core ( Figure 1 ).
  • NHTP nonahydroxyterphenoyl

  • Vescalagin belongs to a particular group of ellagitannins, essentially occurring in plant species of only three subclasses of the Cronquist angiosperm classification (i.e., Hamamelidae, Rosidae and Dilleniidae), and which comprises a very unique series of highly hydrosoluble C-glucosidic variants in that the usual glucopyranose core is replaced by a rarely encountered-in-nature open-chain glucose resulting from the establishment of their C-aryl glucosidic bond.
  • Cronquist angiosperm classification i.e., Hamamelidae, Rosidae and Dilleniidae
  • C-glucosidic ellagitannins Another structural feature of several of these C-glucosidic ellagitannins, including vescalagin, is the presence of a nonahydroxyterphenoyl (NHTP) unit triply connected at positions 2, 3 and 5 of their glucose core ( Figure 1 ).
  • NHTP nonahydroxyterphenoyl
  • Figure 1 The inventors' initial interest in studying these C-glucosidic ellagitannins stems from the premise that the highly pre-organized medium-sized ring-containing multiple-phenol array featured by such natural products should be structurally well-suited to interfere with the construction of protein-made cellular architectures, on top of the list of which are actin filaments and microtubules.
  • the selected compounds were the two most abundant C-glucosidic ellagitannins found in the heartwood of oak species, vescalagin and its C-1 epimer castalagin, and their corresponding two minor congeners, vescalin and castalin, both lacking the hexahydroxydiphenoyl (HHDP) unit at positions 4 and 6 of the glucose core ( Figure 1 ).
  • the inventors used bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEc), a well-characterized type of primary cells. Any of the four ellagitannins used at 50 ⁇ rapidly provoked the disappearance of the internal stress fiber network observed in control cells.
  • cytochalasin D known to inhibit F-actin polymerization
  • the perturbed actin configuration elicited by the four C-glucosidic ellagitannins appeared distinct from those induced by cytochalasin D.
  • Example 2 Vescalagin induces rapid and sustained effects on cellular morphology
  • vescalagin-induced F-actin disrupting effect seen in BAEc was also observed in fibroblast cells (baby hamster kidney cells, BHK), which also express ⁇ -actin as the main actin isoform, as well as in smooth muscle cells (A7r5), which in contrast predominantly express a-actin.
  • Vescalagin induced similar collapse of F-actin bundles and cell contraction, but with varying potencies.
  • the impact of vescalagin on the actin cytoskeleton appeared neither cell- nor actin isoform-specific, suggesting that vescalagin can affect all types of mammalian cells.
  • Vescalagin-induced dissolution of stress fibers affected cellular morphology and, eventually, viability.
  • observations made at the light microscopic level showed that cells changed their morphology from a well spread to a more retracted appearance.
  • the cells exhibited irregular wound edges and retraction fibers, indicative of cell contraction upon vescalagin treatment. Mitosis was still observed when using vescalagin at 50 ⁇ , but became impaired at 100 ⁇ .
  • vescalagin increases the immobile fraction of actin trapped into F-actin bundles and, therefore, also affects actin dynamics within these thick F-actin bundles. From these experiments, the inventors conclude that vescalagin affects both thin and thick actin fibers, F-actin bundles made of packed actin filaments being less vulnerable to the action of vescalagin than the single filament dendritic meshwork at the cell periphery.
  • Example 4 A vescalagin-FITC conjugate directly binds F-actin
  • the inventors set up an in vitro assay based on actin polymerization from a solution of Ca 2+ -actin-ATP monomers. Spontaneous polymerization occurs when Ca 2+ is replaced by Mg 2+ provided by the F-actin buffer.
  • the inventors performed high-speed centrifugation of the samples to separate the neo-formed polymers from the monomers to discriminate binding of vescalagin to either F-actin, G-actin or both.
  • the inventors used again the vescalagin-bearing fluoprobe and a fluorescent Alexa633-phalloidin to stain F-actin.
  • Actin polymerization was carried out until it reached its steady state in both permissive and non-permissive conditions ⁇ i.e., in the presence or absence of Mg 2+ -containing F-buffer). The experiment was then continued for 30 min in the presence of either vescalagin-FITC conjugate or Alexa633-phalloidin, and the formation of actin polymers was then assessed by high-speed centrifugation. The results showed colored pellets consisting in insoluble actin stained with the fluorescent compound and indicated the expected binding of phalloidin onto filamentous actin (F- actin), as well as that of the vescalagin-FITC conjugate onto that insoluble actin material. Thus, the vescalagin-FITC conjugate directly binds F-actin.
  • F- actin filamentous actin
  • Example 5 Vescalagin binds to F-actin and promotes the actin filament state
  • a surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based analysis confirmed that vescalagin does not bind G-actin.
  • a biotinylated vescalagin conjugate was synthesized by first reacting vescalagin with octane-1 ,8-dithiol to furnish the sulfhydryl thioether 1 -deoxyvescalagin derivative ( Figure 5). This thiol was then coupled to the biotinylated maleimide linker. This coupling reaction was performed in deuterated DMSO to enable its monitoring by 1 H NMR spectroscopy.
  • Example 6 Vescalagin aggregates actin filaments into randomly organized clusters
  • the actin filament aggregation effect of vescalagin did not prevent actin polymerization and furthermore decreases the pool of G-actin.
  • the spontaneous induction of disorganized aggregates of F-actin by vescalagin would be expected to circumvent regulated actin filament elongation at filament ends, leading to a cellular environment in which there is insufficient polymerization-competent G-actin to maintain normal stress fiber turnover. Alterations of cellular G-actin levels is known to regulate the synthesis of actin and of other actin regulatory proteins.
  • vescalagin does not bind at the same site(s) as phalloidin.
  • Example 8 Compared dose responses of endothelial cells following vescalagin or vescalin treatment
  • bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEc) were used. These cells form podosomes following a few hours of incubation with TGF- ⁇ . Cells were fixed after 24 hours of stimulation. Two protocols were tested. In the first protocol, cells were stimulated for 24 hours with TGF- ⁇ , and vescalagin or vescalin was added during the last hour of stimulation ( Figure 7A). In the second protocol, cells were stimulated for 24 hours with TGF- ⁇ , and vescalagin or vescalin was added from the beginning of the TGF- ⁇ stimulation ( Figure 7B). In both cases, cells were then fixed and treated for immunofluorescence analysis.
  • BAEc bovine aortic endothelial cells
  • Podosomes were visualized by double staining using phalloidin (a F-actin marker) and cortactin (a podosome marker). The percentage of total cells showing podosomes was then quantified and compared to the control (cells incubated with TGF- ⁇ only) ( Figures 7A and 7B).
  • vescalagin showed a stronger inhibitor activity than vescalin.
  • the less pronounced effects observed when vescalagin or vescalin was added from the beginning of the TGF- ⁇ stimulation may be explained by rapid turn-over of these compounds.
